 Your corresp spOndent serreG on the coropor's jury on 22l of June, 1881, when Fred keister vas murdered m the same house OF the evening Of the 2Osh of the same month. That mystery bEs not been cleared up and the guilty parties brought to justice. Several the1rles are entertained about that murder, ss the public are aware some arrests were l made, but no proofs were available to l suOstsntIste the charges and the parties l were discharged. The same Tn tbis | case. several theoFIes are advanced the | most common being that those two | MeXicRns are the mur6erers; others | that when they came m from work | found shat the murder had been com mitted and they being strgngers m the | place. fled, leaving everything behind l them. As they were not seen since She | crime was committed it IS not kn VII whether they had any of the plunder from the house with them.
